Tried to fix a stuck seatpost and ended up sawing the frame in half
At the co-op on Burnside last Saturday, I had this old Schwinn where the seatpost was seized solid. Figured I'd try the PB Blaster and torch trick but after an hour of wrestling it just wouldn't budge. Ended up cutting the post out with a hacksaw and then realized I'd nicked the frame tube so bad it cracked as soon as I sat on it. Anyone else ever turn a simple fix into a total write-off?

Nah, you just weren't using enough elbow grease!

Honestly though, sometimes it's not about the effort but the product itself. My mom has this one pan that no amount of scrubbing will ever fix because the coating is just worn down. Newer stuff sometimes just doesn't hold up the same way.
